Sometimes there is a lock ring on one of the studs, but I haven't run into that one on the Supra yet but you never know. I guess we should ask which year it is because some come with screws that hold it up against the stud plate and other than that, rust and slight tapping around the edge should break it loose, but I am betting on the first 2.
